Austria Women vs Northern Ireland Women Predictions

• Austria have won seven of their last nine games
• Northern Ireland are on a run of five successive defeats
• Austria have kept clean sheets in five of those seven victories

Austria looking to kick-start campaign

A narrow 1-0 defeat to England in their opening group game saw Austria’s three match winning run in competitive games come to an end, but they remain heavy favourites for this clash.

Irene Fuhrmann’s side qualified for the tournament by winning six of their eight group games and conceding just three goals, showing their strength at the back.

Indeed, they have kept five clean sheets in their last nine outings, with England the only team to beat them (twice) in fourteen fixtures since June 2021.

Northern Ireland hoping to make history

Northern Ireland have qualified for the Euros for the first time, and their tournament got off to a tricky start thanks to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Norway.

Ultimately, that was a fifth successive loss for Kenny Shiels’ side, who have failed to score in two of those games and have only won two of their last seven fixtures outside of their home country.

On top of that, the Green and White Army lost 3-1 to Austria during qualifying for the 2023 World Cup.

I predict that Austria will win this one to nil, with 3-0 my correct score prediction.
